Ok. so I've been pretty much rid of my anxiety for maybe a year and a half.

Now it's decided to reappear. Gotta love it right?
The pressure over my chest, feeling like im gonna exploade into a thousand tiny pieces. Is back.

So I'm wondering if anyone got any tips for how to relieve anx. I have no meds. Anyone got other tips?

I meditate. Focusing on breathing and emptying my mind can really help me calm when I am feeling that tightening in my chest or if I am the verge of a panic attack.

There's some videos on youtube that could help you learn some breathing techniques, I'm sure.

Hope that helps!

I journal sometimes the things that make me nervous.

It's also good to do deep breathing exercises.

Your anxiety won't last forever. It will go away eventually. Just keep telling yourself that. You're strong and you can fight this!

I listen to 2 amazing CD's by Roberta Shapiro. The 2 I love are "good bye worries &" good by anxiety & fear". I also read Louise Hay and Lucinda Bassett from Panic to power. Hope this helps

Breath techniques, mediation, positive thinking, acupressure, yoga, and tapping (EFT) may help with your anxious feelings. You can find EFT on YouTube. If you believe in a higher power, then prayer is an option too. I apologize in advance if you do not have spiritual beliefs.

Do you know what triggered the anxious? If you know the trigger, it may help to approach it better. I hope it gets better soon. It won't last forever. :-)

z3taqu33n thanks for the EFT recommendation. I've never heard of it, just looked it up and think it could possibly help.

Something that helps me is breathing exercise and regular exercise.
